OF ARKANSAS DIES The outlook for a sweeping Hughes victory in Oregon is becoming more pronounced each day, with nearly 13, 000 members already signed to the rolls of the National Hughes Alliance In Oregon, in 66 branch alliances out side of Portland and nine branches so far organized in this city, as the re sult of a little more than five weeks' Work. Every member of the Hughes Alli ance is pledged over his or her own signature to vote and work for the election of Mr. Hughes. The signa tures of nearly 13.000 men and women voters of all parties are now on file at the headquarters here of the Hughes campaign committee, the vice-chairman of which, Thomas B. Neuhausen, Is supervising the organization work. Every day's mail is bringing a bifj stack of letters to Mr. Neuhausen from officers and members of the alliance through the whole state. New charter rolls and the names of additional mem bers . for branch alliances already formed are coming in a steady stream. Everywhere the Hughes Alliance idea has been received with enthusiasm. Wasco County Branch Forms. The following letter from F. A. French, vice-chairman of the Wasco County branch of the Hughes Alliance at the Dalles, under date of September 17. Is typical of the many received daily by Mr. Neuhausen: "Dear Sirr A very enthusiastic meeting was held at the County Court house last evening and the Wasco County branch of the National Hughes Alliance was formed with the follow ing permanent officers: . "Chairman, H. L Kuck; vice-chairman. F. A. French; secretary, Anne Hansen; treasurer. Max A. Vogt. "Precinct chairmen were appointed for every precinct outside of this city to secure members for the Alliance throughout the entire county. "Special committees were appointed to work among the women voters of this city. These committees are com posed entirely of women and will make a house-to-house canvas. "Delegates to the state-wide confer ence were not appointed at this time as it was decided best to wait till the membership was larger. Two hundred 1 persons have already signed the charter papers and it is expected to have not less than 1000 active workers in this organization in the next week. Hughes Sentiment Strong. "A rousing welcome will be given Senator S. H. Piles on his appearance here next week. The Hughes sentiment is very strong and it is a safe. bet that et least 80 per cent of the voters of this county will mark their tickets for Charles E. Hughes for President, as well as voting the straight Ttepublican ticket for all offices, both state and county. "This is certainly going to be a strong Republican year in Oregon. We are greatly In need of some Hughes literature and 1000 Hughes buttons. The small supply of buttons sent here so far does not make a good showing with the great number of Wilson buttons that are to be obtained. "We have enough good Hughes boosters but need the buttons to make a goovi showing, and I am sure you know the effectiveness of seeing tnese buttons on every coat; it brings in more recruits. Alliance Is Nonpartisan. The National Hughes Alliance as not, as some persons have supposed, a Re publican' organization. It is a non partisan organization of men and women voters of all parties who have pledged themselves to vote and work for the election of Mr. Hughes. One of the remarkable features of the prog ress of the organization In Oregon so far has been the large number of Democrats who iiave joined the alliance. The Hughes Alliance had its incep-K tion in New York State in 1908, when voters of all parties formed it as a nonpartisan organization to work for Mr. Hughes' re-election as Governor on the record he had made In his first term. When he was nominated for President this year, his supporters in the old Alliance of 1908 revived the organization to work for him again. It was intended at first to be, as In 1908, only a New York organization, but so many requests came from other states to extend its activities that it was made National In scope. Work elmilar to that now being done in Ore gon is in enthusiasUc progress in other states of the Union. Conference to Be Held Friday. An Important landmark in the pre liminary organization work of the Hughes Alliance in Oregon will be the statewide conference of delegates from all the branch alliances formed up to this time in the state, to be held ' next Friday, October 6, In the Portland Central Library. At this time permanent officers of the State Hughes Alliance will be elected, and plans laid for carrying out an active and aggres sive campaign through the entire state on the part of members of the various oranch alliances. Mr. Neuhausen said yesterday that bv the time the delegates arrive for this conference, the number of branch alli ances in Portland and the state outside undoubtedly will be at least 100. A whirlwind campaign to form 25 branch alliances in Portland alone will end the night before the conference meets. Delegate Lists Arriving. Lists of delegates to the conference, on the ratio of two delegates for each 25 members of each branch alliance, are now coming to Mr. Neuhausen. Among the lists just received is one from the Grants Pass Hughes Alliance, which has elected the following 30 delegates: O. S. Blanchard, A. N. Ruttencutter, F. W.

Senator Clarke had been President pro tempore of the Senate since the Democratic party gained control in 1913. He was chosen by the party caucus to succeed the late Senator Frye, of Maine. Senator. Clarke left Washington a few weeks ago apparently In good health. In the closing days of the last session he presided- over the Senate owing to the absence of Vice-President Marshall. The railroad eight-hour bill was passed with Senator Clarke in the chair, but he was one of two Demo cratic Senators to vote against the measure and he refused to sign it. He appointed Senator Hughes as acting President pro tempore when the bill was presented for signature. eenator Clarke s revolt against the eight-hour bill was a typical manifes tation of a stern Independence which characterized his attitude throughout the 13 years of hie Senatorial career. He was many times the leader in oppo- ltlon to measures proposed by his party. The climax to his independence was reached when he led the Demo cratic revolt against the ship-purchase bill which gave new life to the Repub lican filibuster against the measure and made its passage Impossible. When the bill was reintroduced during the last session, however, with the Govern ment ownership and operation features to which Senator Clarke objected, re vised ami modified, he supported it. eenator uiarice acted ror several years as chairman of the committee on commerce. He also was the ranking Democratic member of foreign rela tions committee and the committee on military affairs. YONKERS CARMEN RIOT VIOLENCE ALSO FEATURE STRIKES AT MOUNT VERNON.
